I'm '''Kevin H. Spencer''', a resident of Indianapolis, Indiana (yes, the [http://www.indy500.com home of that big car race in the spring], but maybe you know us now as the home of the 2006-7 [http://www.colts.com Super Bowl champions now]). I'm one of three bureaucrats (administrators with squeegees for user account maintenance to go with my [[Mop Boy|virtual mop]]) here on Battlestar Wiki. (That's why I wear a [[deckhand]] jumpsuit and carry the Bureaucrat Squeegee.)
I'm '''Kevin H. Spencer''', a resident of Indianapolis, Indiana (yes, the home of that big car race in the spring). "Spencerian" is my online nickname in many locations. I'm also an administrator here on Battlestar Wiki.


I'm a computer systems engineer, specializing in Mac OS X technologies. To make myself more curiously unique, I'm also a black conservative. I don't even speak "Jive." The world has all kinds.

*Growing up on the original ''Star Trek'' and ''Battlestar Galactica'', my tastes on "mainstream" science fiction have graduated far from what ''Star Trek'' has become. I use ''[[w:Babylon 5|Babylon 5]]'' as a good writing baseline.

*I attend a few science fiction conventions in the Midwest, and enjoyed one in the south in 2006. I tend to keep a low profile, except when I appear in costume.

*My exposure to "The Matrix" has, in part, led me to become a member of the [[w:Roman Catholic Church|Catholic Church]].  It's a curious, mysterious story that led me there that, in some ways, was like Neo's trip through the Looking Glass. My spiritual discoveries (in part from my ''Matrix'' interests) have also led me to study the traditions of [[w:Buddhism|Buddhism]]. I'm nowhere close to enlightenment, but at least I've found a Path.

*While not a big fan of the last three ''Star Trek'' spinoffs, I'm very fond of the fan-generated [http://www.newvoyages.com/ New Voyages] episodes of the original ''Star Trek''. This is '''very''' impressive stuff, and is free to watch. A must-visit. I'm also very supportive of CBS's reissue of the original ''Star Trek'' with CGI graphics. Normally this might be a formula for controversy (''a la'' the ''Star Wars'' expanded editions), but the combination of the (highly cleaned and clear) live-action with the un-matted graphics that fit precisely with their originally-shot model renderings make watching TOS a new joy.

My lovely sweetheart and I, as Morpheus and Trinity from ''The Matrix''. Perhaps you've seen it (or us).

Starbase Indy 2006 was pleased to see [[Katee Sackhoff]]. The actress is, in comparison to her Kara Thrace persona, a thin, shy waif with a great sense of humor.<br />

Why, yes, I am the Ronco Average Bald Black Guy! Dress me up like Samuel L. Jackson, Lawrence Fishbourne, Avery Brooks or [[Rick Worthy]] and take me to parties!<br />

During some recent mopping, I came across a screencap that, on closer examination, showed two otherwise-unknown [[battlestar]] names: ''[[Night Flight]]'' and ''[[Erasmus]]''. It appears that Battlestar Wiki was first in fandom to discover these mentioned-only ships, and yes, I ''am'' proud of that! Thanks to [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showuser=2948199 "KillCally"] on the Sci Fi Forums for the reverse-video screencap that greatly aided in the ''Erasmus'' discovery, and to [[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] for opening up a topic on "Sciffy" that required me to dust off my unused account there in the first place.

*[http://navras.boourns.net/extra.php The closing credits music to ''The Matrix Revolutions''] is "Navras." You might have heard [[Elosha]] sing the central verse at the close of the [[Miniseries]]. An inspiring verse from the Upanishads.

I'm still around! I've signed back in as of November 13, 2014, to check in. The wiki is in maintenance mode with no new content expected right now. I'm working on reestablishing comm with other active chiefs to keep the main page active on news of any Glen Larson movie news, as well as the usual squeegeeing. Please note that Joe B. and Shane were the active wiki coders and some edit attempts appear to be breaking. We'll do the best we can. I noted the sign-in account requests are back logged. I'm going to leave them alone for a bit while I get resituated; editing is a lower priority.
After some offline time this summer, I'm active and available.
